Hijacking CD177 for whole-body visualization of neutrophil dynamics

Tissue infiltration of neutrophils is a key event of sterile and pathogen-induced inflammation; however, there is at present no non-invasive tool to visualize neutrophil dynamics in the body. Bouvain et al. develop a neutrophil-specific tracer that enables longitudinal imaging of neutrophil flux across the whole body.
